I'm hoping someone can help with this as I'm stumped and google searches aren't revealing much. I configured the SMTP as follows:

 

Forward "root" email to: [email protected]

E-mail server: smtp.gmail.com:465

Use TLS: YES

Mail ID: [email protected]

Mail PW: gmailpassword

Mail Domain: [email protected]

From LIne Override: YES

Re-Write Domain: Blank

RevAliases: Blank

 

When I try the sample command:

 

echo -e "Subject: a test\n\nThis is the email body." | ssmtp -d root

 

In either telnet / putty telnet or the actual server, the screen just hangs. It looks like this:

It just sits there and apparently hangs indefinitely until I ctrl-Z out of it.  I never receive any e-mails - the screen is just "hung up" at the point above and stays that way until I Ctrl-Z.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

 

For the record, I followed the official guide here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Configuration_Tutorial and downloaded the unmenu link and used that one (available at http://code.google.com/p/unraid-unmenu/downloads/list)

Forgot to say, using ssmtp_2.64.orig.tar.bz2 as the ssmtp version.

Ok, evidently it comes back with this error after sitting for 15-20 minutes: ssmtp: Connection lost in middle of processing

Ok, I fixed my problem (not sure exactly what fixed it but it is fixed). This is how I fixed it in case anyone else ever has this issue:

 

Forward "root" email to: [email protected]

E-mail server: smtp.gmail.com:587

Use TLS?: YES

Mail ID: anothergmailaccount <no @gmail.com added here>

Mail PW: mypassword123

Mail Domain: localhost

From Line Override: Yes

Re-Write Domain: gmail.com

RevAliases: <BLANK>

Thanks for posting this.

 

I am new to unRAID and following your settings really helped me out.

 

I was having the same issue with similar values to your original. When I changed to what you said worked for you I am now sending email from root.

 

Thanks again!
